A lifetime at the public trough and evidently nothing to show for it. I betcha Mike Ellis ain’t cheap either. sop
Lost in all the news of Steve Theriot and Jefferson Parish filing suit against the blogosphere was a report by Michael Perlstein of Channel 4 on Aaron Broussard’s latest trip to the federal courthouse Friday in response to another subpoena issued by Team Letten. Broussard was evidently tight-lipped on the content of the subpoena but Broussard’s attorney Mike Ellis did have a few … Continue reading “Catching up with Aaron Broussard. Another subpoena and more documents to the grand jury. Updated”

Our sources tell us the judge makers at Gautheir Houghtaling dusted off Debbie for a run at former Judge Benge’s office.
